Dehavilland named its aircraft wisely after animals. The DHC-3 is known as the Otter. Our Otter aircraft is devoted to putting fishermen and fish together. Flying in to some of Ontario’s best fishing is what this aircraft was designed to do.

The otter animal also has a close affiliation to fish. Karen got these shots this morning of an ...read more.

“Thanks for another great trip to Hilltop, this is the Northern I caught after hooking a Walleye, both were netted and released. The pike seem to get thicker every year! Looking forward to the next trip already!” ~ Dave D.

The first week of our 2012 season is behind us. It was a tough week of weather with rain, wind, cold and hot. Virtually one of the worst opening weeks of weather we’ve seen – the only saving virtue was no snow. Fishing was hit and miss.

Last weekend, Sept 18 to 20 saw some of the best weather of the summer. The fishing was absolutely amazing. I was at Seseganaga Lake to paint some floors and do some other odd jobs (digging outhouse holes) but couldn’t help myself from getting out on the lake too. Literally, the jig couldn’t hit the bottom before a walleye was ...read more.

It is hard to believe, but after more than 33 years, 2 well used coffee mugs, three kids transformed into three new families producing 7 grand kids, numerous pilots moving on to fly heavy metal, guests who have become friends rather than customers, the catch and release of countless fish, and tens of thousands of hours of safe flights, Karen
